The postdoctoral position focuses on modeling bacterial transport strategies in real-life environments, particularly how magnetotactic bacteria navigate using chemical and magnetic cues. The project combines biophysics, stochastic modeling, and porous media physics to explore how these bacteria can achieve long-distance navigation in heterogeneous environments. Candidates should have a strong background in statistical physics and programming skills, preferably in Python or Matlab.
